Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 246, 247, 248, 249, and 250)

Chapter 246

Melody didn’t understand why Ken suddenly flared up, but she had never been able to read his mind anyway.

So, she decided not to ask anything and pushed open the car door to get out, leaving Ken to deal with his emotions alone.

Ken watched Melody get out of the car without a word. His eyes were filled with frustration. He frowned deeply as he was about to press the accelerator, but then a loud crash came from the intersection ahead.

Melody and Ken both looked toward the sound simultaneously. They saw a sports car collide with a truck.

The heavy truck, sturdy in build, suffered minimal damage. But the front of the sports car was severely mangled, and its occupant’s fate was uncertain.

Ken pulled out his phone to call emergency services. But before he could dial, the truck unexpectedly reversed and swiftly turned around to flee the scene. His gaze turned cold when he noticed it was an unmarked truck.

Just then, his car door swung open.

Melody immediately said: You go after the truck. I’ll check on the person in the sports car.

With that, she closed the door and ran towards the accident site.

Ken frowned and ordered his men to pursue the truck. He dialed emergency services and then got out of the car to follow Melody’s footsteps.

Seeing Ken catching up, Melody was about to ask why he wasn’t chasing the truck when she saw his men driving off after it. She swallowed her words and hurried over.

The windows of the sports car were shattered, and inside lay a person. That person was unconscious and bleeding profusely from a head wound, slumping over the steering wheel.

Hello? Can you hear me? Melody called out, but there was no response from the occupant. That young man was unconscious.

Ken said indifferently from beside her, Step back. I’ll open the door.

Melody instinctively took two steps back, puzzled as to why Ken didn’t want her to help.

As Ken pulled open the door, shards of glass scattered everywhere. his arm got scratched in the process, blood staining his white shirt crimson.

Melody quickly approached. Your hand… Ken said, don’t worry about it. Help me get him out.

Okay! Melody didn’t say more, assisting Ken in lifting the man from the driver’s seat and gently placing him on the ground. Then, she knelt, reaching for the man’s pulse.

A few seconds later, she frowned and looked at Ken. It’s serious. There’s likely internal bleeding. We need surgery urgently.

Ken pulled up a map on his phone. The nearest hospital is half an hour away from here. Melody said, half an hour is too long. We need to get him to your car. Let’s go to Herbathrive.

Ken asked, Isn’t Herbathrive a traditional medicine center?

Melody replied: they have orthopedics, an operating room, and basic equipment too. Plus, it’s only twenty minutes from here.

Upon hearing this, Ken didn’t hesitate and helped lift the person into his car’s back seat. Melody immediately called Colin.

After knowing the situation, Colin said urgently, I’ll prepare the operating room right away. Be careful on the road, watch the bleeding. I won’t say more. You know what to do.

Okay! Melody replied before hanging up. She took out her acupuncture kit and carefully inserted silver needles into the young man’s body. With a few needles, she managed to control the bleeding that had been gushing out.

Then, she applied pressure to the largest wound and heaved a sigh of relief.

With everything done, Melody realized the back seat was almost entirely stained with the young man’s blood.

She cautiously glanced at Ken in the driver’s seat and said, Um… your car seems to be dirty.

She had recently learned from James that Ken had a severe cleanliness obsession.

Kan glanced at the rearview mirror, looking almost at his wit’s end. Miss Fox, do you really see me as that cold-blooded?

Melody replied, NO!

She averted her eyes, feeling guilty, and dared not speak to Ken again. She seemed to truly understand him well enough.

It was a twenty minutes drive, but Ken raced swiftly and arrived near Herbathrive within over just ten minutes.

Then, his subordinate called to report, Mr. Swanson, we’ve caught the culprit. It’s an unlicensed car.

Understood. Ken was about to hang up when the subordinate continued, And… we found out this guy works under Benny. The car is full of valuable goods and cash he unlawfully detained.

Ken raised an eyebrow, thinking it was quite a coincidence. He ordered: arrest him but keep it quiet for now.

Got it! The call ended, and Ken turned to Melody in the back seat. Did you hear that?

Melody replied, Yeah… no wonder they ran after hitting this man. Seems like Benny wants to minimize his responsibility to get a lighter sentence.

Ken said, What goes around, comes around. That’s why we stumbled upon this accident.

Soon, they arrived at Herbathrive.

Normally closed at this hour, it was fully lit now. Colin was outside with a group of people, ready and waiting. They carefully moved the injured man from the car onto a stretcher.

Thank you. his bleeding is temporarily under control, but his internal organs don’t look good. We need to perform emergency thoracic surgery. Melody walked alongside the stretcher, informing Colin of the man’s condition.

Thoracic surgery? Colin’s expression darkened. Our surgeon is off today. He lives in the suburbs and won’t be here for at least an hour.

Melody fell silent for a moment, then said, I’ll perform the surgery. Can you assist me?

Colin replied, of course! But do you have experience in this area?

Melody smiled faintly. Before my mentor specialized in traditional medicine, he was a renowned top surgeon. That’s something not many people know, but he taught me everything.

That’s reassuring… Colin breathed a sigh of relief and led Melody to change into surgical attire. Once ready, they both entered the operating room.

About half an hour later, police sirens sounded outside Herbathrive.

Hearing the sound, Ken tossed his cigarette and walked out.

Mr. Swanson, what brings you here? The lead officer recognized Ken at a glance. Ken nodded slightly and handed the officer a cigarette.

The officer took it with surprise and fear in his eyes as if was handed a precious gift.

Ken calmly said, We’ve found the culprit, but due to personal reasons, I’ll have to hand him over tomorrow.

No problem! It won’t affect our process. Just bring him to us tomorrow to make a statement. As the officer finished speaking two MPVs pulled up at the entrance.

A red-haired woman in high heels hurriedly got out, ignoring the police officers and asking as she entered, Where’s my brother?

David quickly replied, He’s in surgery…

What? The woman raised her voice sharply. You put my brother in such a lousy place for surgery? Are you trying to kill him?

Chapter 247

Seeing that the girl’s attitude was getting worse, David could not help but retort, Herbathrive is not a simple place. Even if the whole city, Herbathrive is the best dojo for traditional medicine.

What? The girl’s eyes almost popped out when she heard David’s words.

You said this is a dojo of traditional medicine? It’s not even a hospital?

David could not help but frown. What do you mean? It’s the same as a hospital.

Shut up! Take me to see my brother immediately! The girl’s eyes were bloodshot. The two tall bodyguards behind her were pressing David.

David was shocked and subconsciously pointed in a direction.

The girl immediately brought her bodyguards over and quickly arrived at the entrance of the operating theater.

She pounded on the door of the operating theater and shouted, open the door! Hand over my brother!

In the operating theater, Melody was performing the final suture on the wound. When she heard the knock on the door, she could not help but frown.

She said: It’s probably the patient’s family.

Colin sighed and said: Less and less people believe in traditional medicine now. I’m afraid this family member is like this because of this. However, you don’t have to worry. This isn’t the first time we’ve met such a situation, so we’ve already reinforced the door of the operating theater. If we don’t open it from the inside she won’t be able to enter.

Melody nodded and tried her best to ignore the knock on the door. She continued to focus on suturing the wound.

About two minutes later, she heaved a sigh of relief and said: It’s done, but there might be a risk of infection in the future. It’s best to send him to the ICU in the hospital for observation.

Colin, who was watching Melody’s surgery from the side, felt this blood boil. Now that the surgery was over, he actually felt like he had not had enough.

Melody. He calmed himself down and praised from the bottom of his heart. You’re the most skilled young girl I’ve ever seen… Oh, no. Not to mention young people, even those who have studied medicine for decades have to admit their inferiority when faced with you.

Melody smiled humbly and said: It all thanks to my teacher. If he could come out of retirement, I wouldn’t be able to compare to him even if there were ten of me.

Colin shook his head. As the saying goes, the student surpasses the master. Melody, you’re too humble.

Melody curled her lower lip and did not continue the topic. She looked at the boy on the operating table and said, Let’s go and see his family.

Yup!

Colin nodded vigorously. The expression on his face turned from admiration to seriousness.

With a squeak, the door of the operating theater opened.

Regina Sterling, who was outside the door, rushed in immediately. When she saw Melody standing behind the door, she was shocked.

It’s you? Melody? The news about an ugly girl from the countryside had spread throughout the socialite group.

Melody looked at Regina and quickly searched her mind for the girl before her. She confirmed that she did not know the girl, but she found the girl’s face familiar.

She felt that she had seen this face. Suddenly, Melody remembered that this girl’s appearance was 70% to 80% similar to Jennie’s, who she wanted to investigate.

Maybe this girl was from the Taylor family.

Melody suppressed the doubts in her heart and asked, You are?

I’m Mabel’s friend, Regina Sterling!

Melody was stunned.

Her surname was Sterling? If she wasn’t from the Taylor family, could she be someone related to Jennie?

Just as Melody was speculating, Regina suddenly caught a glimpse of Lucas Morgan lying on the operating table from the corner of her eyes. She realized something.

She immediately asked in surprise and anger. Don’t tell me that you were the one who operated on Lucas.

When Melody heard that Regina was Mabel’s friend, she subconsciously frowned, but she still answered truthfully, that’s right. I operated on him. The patient is out of danger now, but he still needs to…

However, before she could finish her sentence, Regina grabbed her collar tightly.

Melody! You actually dared to operate on him! What right does a country bumpkin like you have? If he dies, you won’t be able to compensate him even no matter what!

Colin, who was beside them, hurriedly went forward to stop Regina.

Little girl, let go of your hand! If it weren’t for Melody, he would be dead now!

Nonsense! Regina glared at Colin and said: His car is the latest Lamborghini. There are only 100 in the world, and it’s extremely safe. It’s impossible for an ordinary car accident to be a big deal. If it weren’t for you guys, he might have woken up by now!

Colin was completely infuriated. He raised three fingers and said: I can swear on the name of traditional medicine that I’m telling the truth! It was Melody who saved his life. She saved him from the gates of hell!

Traditional medicine? When Regina heard these words, she seemed to be even more agitated. Her eyes were filled with mockery as she said, What a coincidence. I’m a medical student. You idiots who call yourselves traditional medicine masters can adjust women’s periods, but you don’t know how to deal with car accidents and external injuries.

You! Colin was so angry that he almost cursed.

Let me tell you, if anything really happens to Lucas, this lousy place of yours will be closed down! Regina said fiercely. She turned around and ordered the bodyguards behind her, to hurry up and take him to the hospital.

Yes!

As soon as the bodyguards responded, they picked up the stretcher and carried Lucas out.

Colin was about to stop them when Melody grabbed the corner of his shirt.

Forget it. We have to send him to the ICU for observation anyway. We don’t have enough equipment here. It’s a good thing for the patient to be sent to a hospital of modern medicine.

When Colin saw that Melody was calm and did not look angry at all, he could not help but restrain his anger.

This young girl could be so calm. Why couldn’t he?

Thinking of this Colin gradually calmed down and calmly watched Regina take Lucas away.

Sorry for troubling you tonight. It’s already so late. You should go back and rest. Melody was about to leave after thanking him when she suddenly saw a black wallet by the door of the operating theater.

She subconsciously picked it up. She asked around but nobody lost a wallet. She had to open it to check.

There were dozens of bank cards and an ID card in the wallet.

It was the wallet of the boy she had just saved.

The boy had just turned eighteen, and his name was Lucas Morgan.

Lucas… she searched for the name in her mind and quickly recalled Lucas was from the Morgan family in Silverlake.

The Morgan family has been doing scientific research for generations. Even Lucas’s mother was a well-known beauty product tester expert. Almost all cosmetics on the market in Halcyon had to be approved by her signature before being sold to consumers.

However, Melody did not think too much about it. She took the ID card and was about to return it to Lucas.

However, when she reached the door, Regina’s car had already sped away. Even the police car parked at the door had already left.

She had no choice but to keep Lucas’s wallet for the time being.

Anyway, there were so many things in this wallet. Lucas’s family would have to come and look for it eventually.

Melody might even be able to find out if Regina was related to Jennie.

Are you done? A deep voice suddenly sounded.

Melody turned around and noticed that Ken had been waiting for a long time under the street lamp. There were more than ten cigarette butts scattered under his feet.

She couldn’t help but frown. Wait for me for two minutes.

With that, she turned around and ran into Herbathrive.

Ken fell silent as he watched Melody disappear before his eyes.

With a click, he lit another cigarette. The smoke obscured most of his face, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.

Chapter 248

Ken waited under the street lamp for a while. Not long after, Melody walked out with a bag of medicinal herbs in her hand.

Before Ken could say anything, Melody had already given the things to him and said: This is for treating colds and coughs. Since you can’t stop smoking, have some medicine.

Ken looked at the herbs in his arms and pursed his lips. It was hard to tell what he was thinking. He had some relief in his eyes.

He thought that this must be the reason for her to run back.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and said seriously: I don’t know how to eat this. Can you help me?

Melody said without thinking, It’s quite easy. One bag is a portion. Susan can help you.

I…

It’s getting late. Let’s hurry back. Melody interrupted Ken and walked straight to the parking lot. Ken glanced at Melody’s back. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.

He had been troubled by cold and coughing for years. Every year in the same season, he would suffer from this. He had also gone to the doctor, but it was useless. Over time, he had gotten used to it.

A moment later, he clicked his tongue meaningfully and carried the herbs into the car.

The car drove back to the Fox’s place. Melody was about to get out of the car when Ken pulled her back.

What is it? She asked suspiciously.

Ken took a medical bag from somewhere and took a disinfectant and cotton swabs. He stared at her expressionlessly and said: Stretch your leg over.

Only then did Melody remember that her knee had two big wounds when she was escaping from Benny.

Too many things had happened just now and she had not cared about herself at all. Now her knees began to hurt.

Ahen… Melody cleared her throat and said: Let me. I’ll go back and deal with it myself.

However, Ken did not seem to hear her. He frowned and repeated, stretch your leg over.

Melody would be unreasonable if she refused now. She could only endure her embarrassment and raise her foot slightly.

However, just as she raised her leg, Ken grabbed her ankle and placed her leg on his knee.

Melody felt a little uncomfortable, so she subconsciously moved.

However, just as she moved a few times, Ken warned in a hoarse voice, don’t move!

Melody looked at Ken in shock. She saw his face redden.

She instantly realized that she shouldn’t move and quickly sat up straight.

Ken dipped a cotton swab into the disinfectant and mercilessly disinfected her knees.

Melody could not help but gasp in pain. Be gentler…

Ken glanced at her and said: so you’re in pain?

Of course, I …

When the accident happened, you ran faster than me.

Melody pursed her lips and stopped talking.

A few minutes later, the wound was finally treated.

Melody quickly retracted her foot as if she had been electrocuted. She said unnaturally: Thank you! I’ll go back first.

After saying that, she opened the car door and quickly got out. When she closed the door, she heard Ken remind her in a deep voice, “Let the wound stay dry.”

Others would think that he was the one who knew medicine.

Got it! She waved and quickened her pace back home.

It was two o’clock in the morning. When she claimed over the wall, she vaguely saw a figure placing something under a tree in the backyard.

Melody looked up. Wasn’t this Yolanda?

It seemed that Yolanda was hiding the poison used to poison her grandma.

Melody quietly took out her phone from her pocket and took a video of Yolanda.

After Yolanda hid the thing she wanted to hide, she looked around and left quickly after confirming that there was no one around.

In order to prevent Yolanda from suddenly returning, Melody waited for a long time. Confirming that Yolanda would not return, she jumped off the wall.

As soon as she jumped down the stairs, the phone in her pocket vibrated.

It was a text from Yolanda.

I’ve put the things there. Remember to take them. The dosage is the same as before. Don’t let Melody find out.

Melody smiled and replied, Okay!

She went to the place where Yolanda hid the poison and squatted down to check the new herbs that Yolanda had bought.

The medicinal ingredients this time were different from the mercury sulfide Yolanda prepared last time. They were more poisonous, but they were also slow-acting poisons. If they were mixed into Maria’s daily medicine, she would die within a month. There was no cure.

Yolanda was still as vicious as ever.

A cold glint flashed across Melody’s eyes. She put away those things and hid the herbs in a secret place before returning home.

It was really a tiring day.

She didn’t want to move at all. Especially, her knee was wounded. Every time she moved her leg, she felt as if she had been pricked by a needle.

She finally fell asleep after taking a painkiller she had prepared.

At the same time, in the Central Hospital, under Regina’s arrangement, Lucas was quickly sent to the operating theater.

At this moment, a middle-aged man and woman dressed in noble clothes rushed to the door of the operating theater.

When Regina saw the one who came, she quickly stood up from the lounge chair in the corridor. Her eyes were red as she said, Mr. Morgan, Mrs. Morgan, you’re here… Lucas is in the operating theater now. We don’t know the details yet.

Zoe burst into tears.

Ander’s face was also dark, but he was much calmer than Zoe. He asked Regina, Why was there a car accident all of a sudden? Who did that?

Regina was stunned for a moment. When I arrived, he was no longer at the scene of the car accident. I’m not too sure about the details but don’t worry. Lucas is a lucky man. He’ll definitely be fine.

Ander was about to speak when a doctor walked out of the operating theater.

The three of them quickly went up to him and asked about Lucas’s situation.

The doctor took off his mask and said with a complicated expression, the patient is fine. His life is no longer in danger. However… He glanced around and finally looked at Regina. He asked, was it you who performed the emergency surgery on the patient?

Emergency surgery?

Regina immediately remembered what had happened in Herbathrive. Just as she was about to expose the fact that Melody and Herbathrive wanted to kill for money, she heard the doctor say with admiration, you look so young, but I didn’t expect your medical skills to be so superb! Just the suturing technique alone far exceeds the doctors in our hospital! If it weren’t for your timely surgery, the patient would probably be dead now.

Regina swallowed the words she was about to say. Her mind was filled with question marks.

That country bumpkin cinnamon roll was really saving Lucas?

If she had really barged into the operating room of Herbathrive, wouldn’t she have harmed Lucas?

Regina felt a lingering fear.

The three people beside her did not notice her expression.

Zoe said gratefully, Regina, why didn’t you tell us earlier that you saved Lucas? Our entire family will remember your kindness!

Regina subconsciously wanted to deny it, but Ander, who was beside her, said with admiration, Regina, you’ve really surpassed your master. Your medical skills are even better than your mother’s. How about this? To express my gratitude, I can make an exception and agree to your mother’s previous cooperation. When Lucas recovers, let your mother come over to sign the contract and join the scientific research team.

When Regina heard this, she immediately swallowed her denial.

The Taylor family did not accept her mother at all mow, but if her mother joined the Morgan family’s scientific research team, it would be better! Her mother could definitely go back.

Thinking of this, Regina rolled her eyes and said embarrassedly: Mr Morgan, no need for that. Lucas is like my younger brother. I’m already very happy that I can help. How can I ask for any benefits from you?

At this moment…

Chapter 249

A nurse walked out and reported anxiously, “Not good, doctor. The patient suddenly went into shock. I think some other organs have been damaged.

What? The doctor was shocked and quickly walked in.

When Donna, who had just calmed down, heard this, her heart hung in her throat again. She grabbed the doctor’s sleeve and instructed, “Please, doctor, you must save my son! As long as you save my son, we will definitely reward you handsomely!

Don’t say that. This is our dirty. I’ll go in and take a look. The doctor said.

Okay, okay, okay. Zoe returned to her senses and quickly let go of the doctor’s hand.

Only then did the doctor return to the operating theater.

About half an hour later, the doctor came out of the operating theater again.

But this time, anxiety was written all over his face. “Doctor, how is it? Ander also became anxious and hurriedly went forward to ask.

The patient’s vital signs have stabilized for the time being. We’ve done a systematic checkup on the patient and found that his spleen is also severely damaged. He needs another surgery after his body recovers a little. However, the risk factor of this surgery will be higher than the first surgery. So… The doctor’s gaze landed on Regina.

Regina could not help but panic. She did not dare to look at the doctor.

The doctor said, When the time comes, we’ll doctors of Insterimond over, but… we hope that this lady can cooperate with us in the surgery. Her medical skills are superb, and with the expert from Insterimond, the success rate of the surgery will greatly increase.

When Ander and Donna heard this, they hurriedly begged Regina.

Regina, please save Lucas!

Miss Sterling, as long as you can save Lucas again, I can make an exception for you to join our scientific research team…

Regina subconsciously wanted to refuse because she did not know how to perform surgery at all. The medical skills she learned from her mother were only superficial.

Moreover, even her mother did not know how to perform surgery…

Regina had mixed feelings.

She knew that she couldn’t do that, but Ander’s promise was too tempting!

She did not need the Taylor family’s recognition to be able to join Ander’s scientific research team. The Taylor family might even recognize her.

After thinking about it, Regina still could not resist the temptation. She gritted her teeth and said, Alright, I’ll cooperate with you for the surgery.

Maybe she could just use some excuses or pretend to be sick.

She would cross the bridge when the time came. There will always be a way. In any case, Ander and Zoe wouldn’t know about the situation in the operating theater. When the surgery was successful, she would take all the credit.

What a good idea!

The more Regina thought about it, the calmer she became. She said to Ander and Zoe, Mr. Morgan, Mrs. Morgan, don’t worry. I’ve always treated Lucas as my younger brother, so I’ll definitely do my best to treat him!

When Ander and Zoe heard this, their faces were filled with gratitude.

Zoe even wanted to kneel down and thank Regina on the spot, treating Regina as her son’s savior.

On the other side, after Ken returned to Serenity Villa, Susan was woken up by the commotion.

Seeing that Ken had just returned, she quickly asked, Sir, have you eaten? Do you need me to do anything?

No need. Ken put down the bag of medicinal herbs and was about to go upstairs to rest.

Susan asked in confusion, What medicine is this?

Ken stopped and said, It’s for treating my cold, but it shouldn’t be of much use. Don’t worry about it.

He trusted Melody’s medical skills, but his seasonal cough was really not so easy to treat. Just some herbal medicines wouldn’t be of much use.

However, Susan took this matter to heart. She silently put away the medicinal herbs and planned to prepare medicine for Ken starting tomorrow.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Melody didn’t wake up until past nine. Probably because of the painkiller, she had a rare good night’s sleep. The fatigue from last night was swept away.

It was probably because she woke up late today that the mother and daughter were not at home. Melody was happy to have a peaceful and quiet day. Rarely, she had breakfast at home.

During breakfast, Ken called.

There were Yolanda’s spies all over the Fox’s place. Melody pretended to be natural and asked, What’s the matter?

The Lawrence family’s matter is almost resolved. The things that he illegally hid will be released for auctions tonight. The proceeds of the auction will be used to donate to poor areas.

Melody’s eyes instantly lit up.

Where should those things be auctioned?

Ken seemed to be deliberately keeping her in suspense. He said calmly, I’ll bring you there tonight.

Melody was about to ask more questions when footsteps suddenly sounded from the stairs.

Melody subconsciously turned around and saw Mabel was dressed extremely exquisitely. Even from afar, she could smell the perfume Mabel used. Mabel looked like a flowery butterfly.

However, it was undeniable that although Mable liked to put on heavy makeup, her face was impeccable. She was so beautiful.

Otherwise, Ulric wouldn’t have taken a fancy to Mabel.

Melody retracted her gaze indifferently. She thought that Mable had gone out. Unexpectedly, Mabel was still at home.

It seemed that she would not be able to finish her breakfast today.

Melody’s appetite instantly disappeared. She put down her fork listlessly and was about to leave when she heard Mabel asking the butler.

Where’s the food box I asked you to buy? It’s all ready.

The butler who had just treated Melody as air, immediately carried a mahogany food box to Mable. Yeah!

Mabel reached out and took it. She seemed to be in a good mood. She quickly walked to Melody and took the initiative to greet Melody, Melody, haven’t you gone to work today?

Melody raised her eyebrows.

Mable said ostentatiously, I heard that Ken likes sweets. I’ve been learning how to bake for the past few days. I made a lot in the morning. There should be a little left. You can take some with you.

In Mabel’s heart, that would be the last thing Melody ate before she died.

Melody was a little surprised to hear this.

Melody thought that Mabel only wanted to be with Ulric. It seems that she was not that stupid. She knew that she had to make two preparations before the heir was finally decided. She was not completely brainless.

But thinking about it, it should be Yolanda who gave Mabel pointers.

Melody looked at the phone call that she had yet to hand up and asked with a playful smile, Are you going to deliver food to Ken?

Mabel put away her smile and raised her chin. You don’t have to worry about that. You should work hard. There might be a surprise waiting for you soon.

The Clark family had probably already begun to kill Melody. Soon, she would not see Melody, this ugly woman again.

Melody pretended not to see the coldness and smugness in Mabel’s eyes. her smile deepened as she said, Thank you for your blessings. I also wish you all the best today.

With that, she quickly walked out the door.

It was not until she got into the taxi that she picked up the phone that was still on and asked with a faint smile, Do you lie sweets?

Melody. Ken sounded angry.

Melody really wanted to go to the auction. She was afraid that Ken would not bring her along if he got angry. She quickly softened her tone and said, You can’t blame me for this! She was the one who wanted to send you food.

Why don’t you stop her? Ken asked.

Do you think I can stop her? Melody answered.

There was silence on the other end of the line for two seconds. Then an indifferent voice sounded. I’m going to get busy.

With that, he hung up on her.

Melody shrugged innocently. How could she stop Mabel?

However, she was very curious. Ken really didn’t like a beauty like Mabel? No man would not like a beauty who had long legs and a slender waist, right?

At this moment her phone rang.

Chapter 250

Melody thought that it was an advertisement. However, it was actually a message from James.

She quickly opened it and saw that James had sent her a piece of news.

The news reported that there was a genius doctor in Silverlake. The doctor was a genius girl. She performed emergency surgery on a car accident patient in an extremely simple environment and saved his life. The patient was Lucas Morgan, son of the president of Halcyon Research Institute, Ander Morgan.

Melody’s eyelid twitched. Why did the news seem to be talking about her?

But the Morgan family had never contacted her to ask for their son’s wallet.

However, when she scrolled down the page, she realized that the main character’s name was Regina.

Okay, then she understood everything.

At this moment, James called. She picked up the call and said, Miss Fox, have you seen the news I sent you? Someone took your credit! The person you saved is Ander’s son. With his special identity, this news has already become a hot topic. Everyone in Silverlake is bragging about the woman’s medical skills! They say that she not only saved the person but also saved the future of scientific research filled in Halcyon.

Before Melody could say anything, James said even more agitatedly, I thought we men were usually thick-skinned. I didn’t expect a woman to be so thick-skinned! You were the one who saved Lucas in Herbathrive, but she actually said that she saved him! Come out and clarify quickly. If you want, I can immediately organize a press conference for you and expose that shameless woman’s true colors!

After James said this, he realized that Melody had not spoken.

He could not help but pause and ask in confusion, Miss Fox, did you hear what I said?

I hear you, Melody said calmly.

James was even more confused. He asked, Aren’t you angry?

What’s there to be angry about? Melody laughed. Since it’s a lie, it will be exposed one day. Why should we waste time and effort to clarify it?

You… What if she’s not exposed? James asked.

Melody said calmly, then do you want to make a bet with me?

On what? James asked.

Bet she’ll come to me soon, Melody answered.

She? Come to you? How could she dare to come to you?

Melody said faintly, then do you want a bet?

So be it! What’s the bet? James asked.

The one who loses will do one thing for the one who wins unconditionally.

James agreed without thinking. Alright! It’s settled then. If she doesn’t come to meet you within ten days, it’s your loss.

Melody raised her eyebrows. Okay.

In that case, I’ll tell you what I want you to do now, James said.

Tell me, Melody said.

James was silent for two seconds before saying, I want you to divorce. Also, you can’t tell him that the divorce is because of our bet.

Melody’s eyes flashed with surprise. She never expected James to bet on this.

But since she had already agreed, there was no turning back.

However, for some reason, she could not understand this emotion herself.

What? Are you going back on your word? James’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

Deal, Melody said.

Let’s see it in ten days! James said.

okay. I’ll hang up first, Melody said.

In front of Melody was Icy Clear Cosmetics. She put away her phone and got out of the car with mixed feelings.

The equipment she needed could be bought at the auctions tonight, so she was still very busy this morning.

Time passed minute by minute. Finally, Melody adjusted the approximate ratio of the medicinal ingredients. When the instrument arrived at night, she would use the instrument to extract the essence of the original liquid for experimentation.

After the experiment, as long as she confirmed that there was no problem with this ratio, she could start to add other materials.

At that moment, her phone rang.

The call was from an unknown number. Puzzled, she answered and heard a gentle voice on the other end. Hello, is this Miss Fox?

Melody was stunned. it’s me. You are?

My name is Ruby. Doctor Herbert from Herbathrive introduced me to you.

Only then did Melody remember that she had asked Colin to help her make an appointment with Ruby.

If she had known that Ruby was in such a hurry to contact her, she would have asked Colin to contact Ruby a week later.

Fortunately, she was almost done with today’s matter, and could take some time.

Thinking of this, Melody went straight to the point. Ms. Wilson, it’s not convenient to talk on the phone. Why don’t you book a place and I’ll rush over?

Alright! Ruby directly gave an address and said, I happen to be eating at this restaurant. Have you eaten? Why don’t we eat together?

The address was near Icy Clear Cosmetics, and Melody replied immediately, Okay.

Five minutes later, Melody arrived at the entrance of a private restaurant.

The waiter put on his standard eight-toothed smile and asked, Miss, do you have an appointment?

I have a friend here. Her last name is Wilson.

Oh, you are Ms. Wilson’s guest. This way, please.

The waiter became even more enthusiastic and quickly brought her to the door of a private room.

What surprised Melody was that not only was Ruby in the private room, but Mason was also there.

What a coincidence. The two of them had never had children. The problem was not with Ruby but with Mason.

Melody quietly knocked on the door and entered.

Ms. Wilson, I’m Melody.

When Ruby saw Melody, a trace of shock flashed across her eyes, but then she recovered her gentle and elegant expression. She smiled and stood up, inviting Melody to sit down.

After Melody sat down, Ruby said gently, I didn’t expect you to be so young. Dr. Herbert told me that your medical skills are above his. I thought you were at least 40 years old.

Melody was about to speak, but Mason, who was beside her, glanced at her with an unfriendly gaze. He looked sideways at Ruby and said, Darling, no wonder we haven’t had any children. It turns out that you always find these unreliable liars to check on you. I told you long ago that we have to find a big hospital to find a doctor. Look at who you’ve found.

Ruby glared at Mason. Don’t talk nonsense. The person who introduced Miss Fox is Dr. Colin Herbert. He owns Herbathrive, the most famous traditional medicine clinic in Silverlake.

Mason still had a look of distrust.

Who knows, if that Colin took some money that he shouldn’t have? If her medical skills are so superb, why didn’t she street the acne on her face? Isn’t traditional medicine the best at conditioning one’s body? Her face is enough to prove that she can’t do anything.

As Mason spoke, he stood up and said, Little girl, if you don’t want us to call the police and arrest you as fraud, leave immediately! Don’t appear in front of my wife again!

Ruby could not bear it, but Mason seemed to be right.

Maybe Melody was really a liar.

If that was the case, she would have to ask Colin about it.

She trusted Colin so much, but he actually found a liar to fool her!

At this moment, Ruby was also a little angry.

Miss Fox, please leave. I don’t want to embarrass you.
